Journalist, producer, and presenter at RFI since 1994, Alain Foka announced his departure from RFI a few weeks ago.
The renowned Cameroonian media personality will now focus on developing his newly created AFO Medias group, with the ambition of turning it into a major media group whose intention is to talk about "Africa without complacency but without condescension."
The group already has the ALAIN FOKA OFFICIEL (AFO) channel, which has 715,000 subscribers on YouTube and offers content including documentaries on African history, exclusive interviews, and debates.
